Cam chain

Recommended Posts

Got an 07 thats just done 100hrs. Can't be 100% when the last owner did the top end as not everyone tells the truth. So I was going to pop a new top end in it when my mate said I should put a new cam chain in too. Anyone else think this is necessary?

Yes, change it. You´ll need a flywheel puller.

Someone said that the Yamaha chain is exactly the same, but costs less.

Absolutely do it. Mine had the same time on it and I couldnt get the marks to line up correctly, so I put a new chain with the top end and it was like new again. You will see that when you go to adjsut valves for the TDC marks.
